At tonight’s meeting of the Tift County Board of Education, the board took action to place TCHS Principal, Dr. Chad Stone, on paid administrative leave for 30 days. The board took further action to not renew Dr. Stone’s contract. This decision came as a result of new information as part of an ongoing investigation.
The Board of Education is tasked with making decisions in the best interest of the students of Tift County Schools. District leadership will work to name a principal as soon as possible to ensure continuity of service to the students of Tift County High School.
